Awesome AGATES! Hunting for Rocks as the River Drops

[@steveegbert7429]

Katy says " I only brought a small bag" and I'm like, Katy, what were you thinking? All smiles for Katy!

[@KatyDidRocks]

Ha, Steve, I was thinking that maybe it would make me be a little fussier about what I take home! :D

Old Disabled House Bound Dusty Rusty Rockhound here: What a delightful rock hunt. So many beautiful finds! This video is a balm to my "rockhunting-deprived" soul. I am physically improving, so by this time next year, I'm hoping to go rockhunting... even if it's at a rock shop!!!

[@KatyDidRocks]

That's great to hear, Kelly!

[@Dojnyddss]

I love the videos Katy, I would love to come do this with you, I carry a lot of rocks no matter what. usually around 80-100Lbs is my max but as long as it’s worth taking I can help you carry as many rocks as you want, I won’t complain.

[@michellemiller5372]

My jaw is on the floor! Did you find all of those in one day? If I had found any of those in a day, I'd of have been doing cartwheels! Either you are in an exceptionally rich river, or I am really bad at this. So glad I found you. I love your pace, and your explanations are perfectly paced. You explain what you are seeing, in a way that is damned close to being there. The way you rotate each one is very much how I would do it, at a distance such as I would hold it. You don't rush and let us appreciate each side with a pause, that gives us time to see it! You have a pleasant voice and it comes through how passionate you are about these incredible natural wonders that rocks are. Count one more grateful new subscriber. I can't wait to ride along again! Thank you! You are a fine teacher.

[@savagesquirrel9828]

LOL….a small bag…you have a great eye and you know you are going to find so much! The treasure state agate is my fav. They seem to be harder to find. Thanks for another adventure.

[@KatyDidRocks]

LOL, Christy, I keep thinking I'll just be a lot more discriminating! :D

[@korieshannon9645]

I feel like the Yellowstone River is the best place to find agates, them seem bigger and nice overall. From what I’ve seen on other videos too. Compared to Lake Michigan/Lake Superior! Maybe they don’t have the LSA colors always. But i love them! Wish I was there with you!!!

[@gracewashburn8276]

Wow, Katee, that rock in the beginning of the intro. Oh my god that’s gorgeous absolutely gorgeous.❤❤❤

[@patriciabock4299]

You find the most beautiful rocks! Some day I will walk on the Yellowstone!

[@michaelbearss371]

Awesome day as always! If I lived that close to the Yellowstone I'd get out as much as I can too lol

[@fionabeale3245]

I missed the premiere 🙁 but still enjoyed the hunt looking over your shoulder at those beyond beautiful finds thank you for going out so I could see them too too many favourites to choose from after your videos I’m always amazed at the beauty here to see for those who make the effort to look thank you Katy

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks much, Fiona. :)

[@leannaerickson9745]

You look like a good time. Wow! The rocks! Carry on doing, you're such a master rockhound.🪨

[@KatyDidRocks]

It was awesome!

[@RodEubank]

Katy my wife and I were planning a trip to Florida in the fall this year, but after watching videos from you, Theo Kellison and Montana Rock Mom we have changed our plans and are now going to Montana in August to hunt for some pretty rocks at the Yellowstone River. Thanks Katy!

[@tishkantack2854]

I wanna drive to MT and hunt rocks with you (I’m only in the swamps of West Tennessee). So jealous of the Agatized wood. Katy you’re livin the dream! 👏🏻

[@KatyDidRocks]

I am very fortunate to live where I do, for sure.

[@sirdudeness1386]

Just went rockhounding yesterday. Never a bad day when you’re on the river.

[@KatyDidRocks]

Definitely not - although some are more dramatic than others. :D

[@sirdudeness1386]

@@KatyDidRocksagreed! Love your rockhounding vlogs. The Yellowstone is on my bucket list. Take care!

[@sfbfriend]

Katy thank you for taking us along..that last big piece of pet wood had some gorgeous reds....I commented no thats mine...LOL. Getting back up there is on my list. Was in Fort Benton in 2015 but that was a genealogy trip. On the road to Loma there is a roadside marker showing the names of 10 men killed by indians, there are two with the same last name, one is my 3rdgreat grandfather and the other was his brother. I loved my trip to Montana it is such a beautiful and clean state, I was very impressed...Thank you

[@KatyDidRocks]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@karencole1623]

Love most of these rocks! They are amazing!

[@kastah]

Must be very nice to go out and walk along a riverside and wondering what nice gemstone will I find to day!!! E N V Y you, but I love to be able to watch you find things. Thank you Kate.

[@KatyDidRocks]

It really is. Watching it again, I realized how ridiculous it was to whine about driving half an hour to the river. :P

[@kastah]

@@KatyDidRocks we are only human and we complain a lot

[@debbieneel8344]

You hit the jack pot!!!

[@margosaunders5705]

The agate at 4:05 is my favorite!

[@KatyDidRocks]

Isn't that something?!

[@largent45]

That TSA was just amazing! And pet wood finds, whether agatized or not, are amazing. And that one with the blue in it was awesome! And that gorgeous pet wood piece towards the end, was phenomenal! A lot bigger than you thought! Lol! So beautiful though! Thanks for getting me off the couch to go along with you! It was awesome! Thanks Kate❣️

[@KatyDidRocks]

Glad you enjoyed it! Lisa, I am always happy when you come along. :)

Very cool! Hope you find lots of great stuff this summer.

[@greatnorthernviews3052]

Love this. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks for watching!

[@soul_adventurist]

I would love to get off the couch and go rockhounding but there is nothing within walking distance. But rest assured, when I get a vehicle, I will be out there looking for something somewhere 😂

[@KatyDidRocks]

Hey, Soul, it doesn't have to be rockhounding! I know that YOU keep on doing in everything you do!

[@coffee19837]

Very beautiful find where was this located in what state would? Very beautiful rocks there 😊

[@KatyDidRocks]

Hello! This is in eastern Montana, on the Yellowstone River. Yes, there's a reason they call it the "Treasure State."

[@coffee19837]

@@KatyDidRocks it’s very beautiful thank you

[@curtd7117]

4:09 hi Katie, what makes this a treasure state agate? Thanks.

[@KatyDidRocks]

Hey there! Treasure State Agate is kind of a catch-all name for fortification agates found in Montana. Originally the name was intended to label agates found in Montana that looked like Fairburns, but it has morphed into a broader definition.

[@MadelineRose-ep7fj]

What temp is the river?😊

[@GwenDBritt]

Katy what are best months to go yellowstone river rock hunding?

[@KatyDidRocks]

I would say it depends on what kind of weather you are comfortable with, as July and August are pretty good for hunting, but very hot. September and October are the best, in my opinion, but the easy pickin's are usually gone. No matter when you come, there are so many beautiful rocks. :)

[@nickcaruso]

Do you slab all of these eventually? Just curious.

[@KatyDidRocks]

Hi, Nick! Some, but definitely not all. :)

[@deniseview4253]

I couldn’t leave any behind. I’d want a wagon to haul so I wouldn’t leave any behind.
